Synopsis

Desperate when she discovers that Allen Crawford, the father of her unborn child, is already married, heiress Agnes Van Suyden agrees to a marriage of convenience to impoverished attorney James Duncan. In a bargain arranged by the self-serving Miss Perrier, Agnes offers riches and social position in exchange for a name for her child. Duncan learns to love his new wife and child, but his happiness is shattered when Crawford's wife dies and he returns to claim Agnes. Miss Perrier, sensing that there is money to be made, arranges a meeting between Crawford and Agnes. Duncan's loyalty has won Agnes' affection, but when Miss Perrier takes him to the room where Crawford and his wife are together, he loses all faith, writes his wife a note and returns to his old lodging, planning to take his life. He is saved by Agnes who rushes to his side and declares the love that she feels for him.
